Frida (2002) is a biographical drama that tells the life story of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, portrayed by Salma Hayek. Directed by Julie Taymor, the film explores Kahlo's turbulent personal and professional life, including her passionate yet tumultuous marriage to fellow artist Diego Rivera, her enduring health struggles, and her revolutionary spirit. The movie beautifully captures Frida's unique perspective on pain, politics, and identity, intertwining her vivid, surrealistic art with key moments of her life. Frida stands out for its striking visual style, paying homage to Kahlo’s iconic paintings and using inventive cinematography to blend reality and fantasy.

The Frida soundtrack, composed by Elliot Goldenthal, is a rich and evocative blend of traditional Mexican music and contemporary orchestral pieces. The score incorporates mariachi, ranchera, and indigenous folk music, which help to immerse viewers in the vibrant cultural context of Frida Kahlo's world. Renowned artists like Lila Downs and Chavela Vargas lend their voices to the soundtrack, adding authenticity and emotional depth. Goldenthal’s compositions reflect the passion and intensity of Kahlo’s life, creating a sonic backdrop that is as bold and colorful as Frida’s art itself.
